Barely had Sandeep Kurhade dug in his heels outside former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar’s residence on Perry Cross in Bandra West that a posse of policemen swooped down and hauled him away. The 33-year-old Pune resident, who allegedly lost his land to his uncle and a renowned real estate firm Amit Enterprises, was arrested, along with RTI activist Shreejit Rameshan and friend Santosh Kumar, 10-15 minutes after he began his planned hunger strike outside the Master Blaster’s house on Wednesday in an effort to draw attention to his plight.
